+    Martin Schulze reported a flaw in the passwd_check() function in
+    "libmisc/pwdcheck.c" which is used by chfn and chsh.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="low">
+    <p>
+    A logged-in local user with an expired password may be able to use chfn and
+    chsh to change his standard shell or GECOS information (full name, phone
+    number...) without being required to change his password.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All shadow users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-apps/shadow-4.0.5-r1"</code>
+  </resolution>
